Yum Cha — Restaurant in Liverpool

When dining out, it’s rare to find a restaurant that seamlessly combines outstanding food with impeccable service. Yum Cha has managed to achieve just that, and it left an indelible impression on my recent visit. From the moment I stepped in, it was evident that this place prioritizes quality and customer satisfaction at every level.

Food Quality – A Feast for the Senses

The food at Yum Cha is nothing short of extraordinary. Each dish we tried was a masterpiece, showcasing the finesse and attention to detail that sets this restaurant apart.

The variety on the menu is commendable, catering to both traditional tastes and modern interpretations. The balance of spices and textures was simply impeccable.

Even the simpler dishes, like their signature fried rice and sautéed greens, were elevated to something extraordinary through their meticulous preparation and use of fresh, high-quality ingredients. Every bite was a testament to their commitment to excellence in culinary craftsmanship.

Service – A Touch of Perfection

The food was phenomenal, but what truly made the experience memorable was the service, particularly from our server, Josh. His warm, professional demeanour stood out immediately. Josh was attentive without being intrusive, demonstrating an exceptional understanding of the menu and offering thoughtful recommendations that enhanced our meal.

What truly impressed me was Josh’s ability to anticipate our needs before we even voiced them. Our tea cups were never empty, plates were cleared discreetly, and he ensured that every course was timed perfectly. His genuine enthusiasm for creating a pleasant dining experience was refreshing and rare.

Yum Cha’s ambience is inviting and elegant. The decor reflects a harmonious blend of traditional Chinese elements and modern sophistication, creating a warm and comfortable setting. The soft lighting, soothing music, and beautifully arranged tables added to the overall dining experience.

I would have given 5 stars based on my first visit, but my last was a disgrace. We had a lovely American waitress who told us it was her first day, naturally we expected one or two slip ups, but she was great! She had two tables (we arrived as soon as the restaurant opened), us and a family who arrived about fifteen minutes after us. We ordered straight away... but the problem we had was we were left waiting for our food for a good forty minutes while the family on the other table - who ordered almost the exact same meals as us - received their food within ten minutes. The next disappointment was when we asked another staff member how much longer we would have to wait (this server is not new at the job as she was working here when I first visited), to which she responded, "Well a lot of it is steamed so it takes longer" then walked away... Steamed like the other tables' food who arrived and ordered after us yet we're still waiting forty minutes later while they've almost cleared their plates? Five minutes later our food arrived via the rude server, with two dim sum plates missing and a dish of spicy pak choi and broccoli we didn't order. We informed her it wasn't our plate (another two tables had been filled at this point) to which she shrugged replied, "Just keep it or its going in the bin" before walking away again. Not to mention her disgusting handling of the situation but I cannot eat spicy food due to a stomach ulcer and this woman did not tell us it was spicy, and I was quite annoyed when I tasted it. This server did not care to even ask whether we would like to keep it or not, she simply gave us no option but to keep it on the already small table. No doubt one of the other tables was missing it!

Extremely disappointed with this person's service, and the delivery right in the middle of the restaurant was not pleasant or very...

My friend and I went out for lunch on a sunny 🌞 Saturday afternoon on Lark Lane, we decided to try Yum Cha as we both haven't eaten at this eatery before. Upon entering, we were able to find a table ,as the place wasn't that busy. The waiting staff was aware we had sat down, and despite this, it took over 15 minutes before anyone came over to ask if we wanted to order food or drinks. There were at least 3 waiters on duty who just seemed to be milling about or talking amongst themselves. The waiter finally approached our table and took our orders. Regarding the food; it was extremely disappointing. We ordered noodles 🍜 soup with duck and wonton and bbq ribs. The noodle soup was flavourless. The broth was so watery and bland that I had to ask the waiter to bring over soy sauce and chilli sauce to try and put some life in the soup. Even with this, it was still disappointing. I definitely wouldn't recommend ordering noodle soup from this restaurant. The ribs were disappointing, too. The bbq sauce was bland, and there wasn't much meat on the bone. At no point during our meal did any member of staff come over and ask us if we enjoyed the meal or if we needed anything. The service was so poor. We order pudding 🍮. A Japanese cheesecake, even the pudding, was bland tasteless and not worth the money. I don't like giving an eatery poor review, but I have no option as it was so bad. This is just my personal opinion and experience dining 🍽 at Yum Cha. Other folk might have enjoyed it. I'll not go back, and I wouldn't recommend...
